Lou does all of SBRs dirty work, if I get a PM from lou I do 2 virus scans on it before opening

Translation: You lost, we won. Get over it. If you don't like it, screw off.

You are now encouraging your user base NOT to use your services. Business 101: You want every single customer to use every single product or service you provide. I don't see any extra incentive being offered for your customers to re-up or stick around. This is so disheartening on so many levels...

The poster was already not a Pro. I appreciate the business lesson though. The product and concept here is very good and will continue to improve. We just can't allow another BI fiasco.

[Easy-Rider 66]

ImMa say this. If anyone re ups their pro status and gives SBR any more money after they blatalantly stole then You're the idiot this time.... U can't look at this and say SBR didn't know... If u don't believe that then u just don't wanna... If you go pro again thatd be like knowin a poker site is rigged havin facts that its rigged and still depositing more money... SBR is just hopin that all the folks so addicted to this site say oh well they fuked us but the site is still cool so ill continue to post... SBR robbed people just as much as bet islands and its a damn shame that folks are so greedy now... SBR is a gold mine and they still go and fuk posters

Planning on doing the re-up to Pro early next year. Soon after I discovered SBR I disregarded the ratings because SBR takes AD $$$ and other perks from Books. When a book like Bovada is rated as high as it is something is not right in my eyes. This site is about Entertainment and gambling on the cheap. Back in the Day used to wager on a much larger scale, but no more. If you really think SBR Management was part of the Fraud, the best thing to do is stop visiting the site. Plenty of other sports forums to frequent. Posting up offshore to an unregulated entity is a risk one takes. It's part of the Game.

[BranchDavidian]

Tough crowd. Stick with the A or better yet the A+ group. If you don't want to play in the contests around here or roll in the SBR sportsbook then don't go Pro. Plenty others will and are doing so in large numbers. We made a mistake and have owned up to it, apologized for it and allowed every voice and shred of evidence to be posted and dissected. Just like you and everyone else we are human and we made a mistake, we will learn from it, make sure its never repeated and do our best to improve.

Not quite. The links to the list in the first several posts were blocked. Who knows, except maybe prop, what has been deleted?

No it's not it has connections to another sbr book when I can confirmed it will be out until then be careful of phone calls

SBR John,

What do you intend to do about all of this? Besides your "apology", which wasn't much of an apology to begin with.

1. Jon Kreta's real name - yes or no?

2. the name of the BI backer who pulled out - yes or no?

3. an explanation of the story of what went wrong here... for example, was the backer arrested or the asshole just ran away from his debts cause he was in a big hole? what is the whole story? be specific

4. the BI backer... what other books does he work with, what other books has he worked with in the past?

5. why did SBR help Jon lie about BI's connections to 7Red and EZStreet?

6. how much profit did you make from being BI's affiliate? How much in 2012?

7. Why is Bill Dozer defending Jon, who really went out of his way to mislead your customers and eventually steal from them?

8. when BI closed shop, how could they have exactly $0.00 in assets? Even if they had $200K and owed $2M, it's theft to keep the $200K. Have you asked these questions or looked for answers?

9. Have you checked on BI's offices lately? Have they moved all of their shit out? Or did they give the equipment to 7Red?

10. Is Jon still in CR? Does he intend to work in the industry? Is he working now?


I know you can't or won't answer all of these questions, or the MANY others we have. You do owe us to tell us SOMETHING though. You should tell us what you can. You should do whatever digging you can. Do something for god's sake. Pretend you give a penetrate beyond 'we made some mistakes, we will be more careful in the future. many people still enjoy our products". We are expecting much more from SBR, and derservedly so. You are our affiliate, you are a self proclaimed watch dog.

I am lucky enough to have a couple people on the inside and someone who knows what they are up to at this minute. I like most was in the dark when it happened though. I am pretty sure sbr knows what I do but they are being closed lip

John, this. While I can appreciate owning up to a mistake and a good sincere apology, I feel that we deserve something of substance. Considering I'm out of something of substance.

This problem has a scope much wider than one poster. It basically affects everyone on that list, as well encompassing credibility for all users on this site.

You need to take that up with those who took your money, they stiffed us too. I understand you're mad, everyone is. SBR is not responsible when sponsors go out of business. It's cold and bad on every level but its also the hard truth. We don't guarantee your funds and we have always made that very clear.

How did they stiff you?

Stop sending you your affiliate fees or shill money?

At that point wouldn't you think something was up?

[Mikeyanks23]

so they stiffed you to

when was the last time u guys got paid

what excuse did they give you?

sucks you didnt get paid but no1 forced you to take the affiliate deal

from now i only recommend becoming an affiliate with an A rated book

They owe us for December.

I do agree both for players and websites we should all stick with the A group. Would of saved us all a lot of typing and money.

[Squared Box]

I can see why John is pissed off. 40% (just guessing what SBR's cut is) of $1.5 million is $600,000. That 600k rightfully belongs to SBR.

Poor John.

We know you are not going to give us money. Fine. What about information? You are supposed to be an industry watchdog. You are our affiliate. Why wouldn't you give us some information? That list of questions was a partial list of things people want to know, just off the top of my head. Why aren't you telling what you know? Why aren't you doing some digging down there in CR?

You are making it clear that:

A. you don't want the truth to come out and are stonewalling

or

B. you just don't give a shit. "SBR is not responsible when sponsors go out of business". Great, we get it, you are keeping all of the money you made. You can't be bothered to give us even basic info that you know? Now that is "cold and bad on every level".

[Sam Odom]

Like I said two days ago... Just stay with the Books who were in Biz BEFORE SBR came along

[KGambler]

Is there any poster (besides phony tto) who thinks SBR should not give us some info?

I could even understand if they don't want to give real names. But they won't tell us anything. Not a thing.

What would a responsible affiliate do? Not only apologize, but also provide us with some info.

What would a real watchdog group do? Well, being they are based in CR, they would do some digging and provide updates on what is going on. What is going on at BI's office now? Is it empty? Is it being used by another book? Whose name is on the business license for Betislands filed with the CR government? Is it a gringo or a tico?

Again, there are so many questions they could answer for us. They won't. And they even want to defend Jon, to try to convince us that he is hardly to blame! This is incredible, how stupid they think we are.

[Mikeyanks23]

How did some guy in connecticut whoruns an HVAC company (me) know before you guys?

how about at the top of this page, next to the 12 advertisers, warning users that you have advertised 3 books up there that stiffed there customers. In big letters with a big warning. That would make the non-guarantee of responsibility very clear.

[SplitAces]

So BI paid you all the way until December. You were getting paid while players were being stalled and lied too?
It sounds like SBR was the last ones to receive money from BI. How were you paid, via check or directly to your account? Who was the controlling principle for BI?

I just want to be clear, SBR was paid through November for all the players losses?

Also John, as the watchdog what did you really think about the hurricane 6 weeks ago in a different country as an excuse for non pay outs?

They owe us for December.

No, no one ever told me they were broke until Sunday. Even then they tried to get another day. I don't know what else was said or when or to whom. I do know they strung us out that all was fine and that payments were on the way. Friday was the day payments would go out and their move and processor issues would be resolved. We were all suspicious the way they were acting, it was all posted here on the forum going back to November completely uncensored to try and figure out what was going on with them.

if you were suspicious, why not say something? Sorry about December but glad you got paid in all the previous months with my and others stolen funds.

thanks for the reply john
from what ive gathered when they started shopping it around to other books. And thats when players like myself started getting warning to try and get out. I took a shot and hedged out to youwager. I got really lucky and only got stiffed for 400.
Again thanks for the quick reply

[SplitAces]

It sucks that SBR was not Paid for December. Feel bad.

I actually believe you, my guess is you dont handle the day to day operations of the business, and you were probably blindsided by this on Sunday. So why not release all the names of the the BI crew? Release their real names, addresses, phone numbers, bank info, etc. You will not only give these players who got ripped off a place to start with getting their $ back or a way for them to pursue it legally, you will show other books SBR doesnt take it lightly when they rip off players. Yea you might lose a sponser or two but it will show SBR really has the players back. I personally didnt have any $ in this mess, but it is very disturbing that you are hiding the thiefs info.

Thats exactly what I'm trying to do. and You have some of "my money". You accepted money from a guy and a business that scammed me, John. The reason you got paid was because I didn't. I'm sorry you ended up getting scammed as well and with that thought in mind, why won't you work with us and answer who the investors were, where "Jon" is and whether this investor is behind any other books, particularly any other affiliate books.

I think it would be a good idea to do this by pm only with members that had an account there. I still think SBR needs to come out with a sticky response to this issue and go from there. I am shocked they haven't done this yet.

[SBR_John]

John.......can you share info on any of the above questions?

Nearly all those are covered in the 100's of post and some are just rhetorical. Others I'll take a crack at.

3. Check my last 100 posts for more details. Either they were gold medal liars or they really did intend to get payments going and carry on what was a pretty good business. In this aftermath my guess is the infighting at BI and maybe even some trust issues caused the money people to turn away. The truth will eventually come out but thats my best guess.

5. He was not aware he was lying assuming he was. I think they jumped the gun on deals they thought would go through.

6. Never discuss numbers except to say they were our smallest sponsor

8. Agreed. They obviously did not send out their last dollar to players. The probable sad reality is after the last customer was paid up to the point they closed they grabbed and ran with whatever came in.

9. We will send somebody by as soon as we get back down there.

I don't know any of the Jon questions or the owners of BI questions. I think many of those are posted. I wouldn't post them if I knew. I have employees and their families living in CR.

[The Kraken]

Fair enough. Good luck getting paid for December John
